Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost

We've studied this poem in our World Literature course...
First, i took the whole poem literally; however, after re-reading it again for at least three times, i saw his meaning. and it is quite beautiful.
My professor taught us the meaning of this poem... it's about art (imagination) and reality...
in my own conclusion, it means that even though art can set us free from the harsh reality of life... we still have to come back and realize that we are still living and though reality hurts we must face if even if we have to travel miles to reach our goal...
^_^ it's a little deep for a poem that looks, at first glance, made for children rhymes...
and I didn't mean it as a criticism, it is meant as a compliment because it could express this much using simple words and imagism... ^_^

Look to Adolf and Jake. It is obvious you don't respect literature. It is also obvious that you are illiterate. If you were wondering, Gay means happy. ^-^ so you basically called this piece happy shit. That is very retarded. I hope you feel like an idiot now.

It is because of work like this that people are still reading Robert Frost today. Excellent piece of work. We should all be able to do so much with so little.

This is my favourite Robert Frost poem! I memorized it the first time I heard it...it's been with me for twenty years or more. The lyrical flow is beautiful as is the imagery.

One has to read the poem out loud to experience the magic of its cadences.(c.f. W. H. Auden's definition of poetry as memorable speech.)
Frost says he repeated the last line because he couldn't think of any other.Clearly he also recognised that there was no need for any other.
The statement in the last verse is that beauty is compelling and he would love to linger, but he has work to do.
'Sleep' may refer to nightime sleep, or the more lasting sleep of death.
